is VPI's new "Super Platter" a worthwhile upgrade?


VPI just began shipping their new 25-pound "Super Platter" for ALL models of VPI turntables except the HR-X. At $1200, it ain't cheap. I'm wondering how much of an upgrade it would be from the rather massive all-black platter that came with my Super Scout Master about 2 years ago. All ideas most welcome.

As stated on VPI website, if you purchased any VPI turntable after March 1st,2007 you are qualified for a $300 rebate from VPI should you decide to upgrade to this new Super Platter.
The new Super Platter will come with a more substantial bearing assembly to accommodate the heavier 25lbs weight.
